Its cool, no one is perfect. I like McCain about 100 times better than I like Bush, and I wouldn't have a problem with him as leader of our country, but my opinion of him has changed a little after he started running an extremely negative campaign, something I thought he was above, and which he repeatedly said he hates about politics, not to mention that Karl Rove pulled one of the biggest slander campaigns against him during the 2000 primaries. I figured that would change his attitude towards negative campaigning.
I do think he is too old for the job though. Look at how much any president has aged from the stress in office, and it is very dramatic. It is a pretty stressful job, and I doubt he could physically or mentally handle two terms.
That being said this will look like egg in the face to a lot of people who remember McCain's claims that Obama is an elitist. If voters hate one thing, it is a hypocrite.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
